5 Member Korean girl group KARA, who is going through a break-up crisis, also star in the TV Tokyo drama "URAKARA". However, they have missed the recording schedule goal for the show. TV Tokyo stated they are supposed to air episode 4 of "URAKARA" on February 4th, but are currently looking into a substitute program to air. Originally, the 5 members had all arranged to arrive in Japan before that date to record for the show.

TV Tokyo stated that they're preparing on airing episode 3 on the 28th, but parts of episode 4 are still incomplete. They're going to attempt filming it this weekend, but they're preparing for the worst. The company stated, "Continuing the program is the most important. All we can do is wait for the conclusion of this crisis". According to Korean media, on the 25th the 3 members made their demands to DSP Media through their lawyer, but as of today the company and KARA do not have a mutual agreement.

Also, on the 26th a Korean paper posted KARA's demands. They want a management change, a new and clear system and they want a new contract where their DSP media contract ends around the time of their Japanese Universal contract.

At least they don't sound angry like KEPA, or threatening like UMJ.

"Continuing the program is the most important.
Um no, their well being as a whole/group is the most important, let them be human like the rest of us and sort out personal drama/angst first, then they'll deliver.

I'm just tired of all the bitching/whining/complaining. I have no sympathy left for some show because they might not meet their due air time. KARA is sorting themselves out, this is one frickin tv show and if it's a situation that breaks the camel's back than it's really sad...hopefully they'll manage to figure things out before the negativity gathers momentum.

But there are staffs and production crews who earn their living by working on that one frickin tv show. It also involves advertising agency and sponsors. For those people, continuing the program could be the most important to their living and well being too.

They made their demands through a lawyer? Not a face-to-face thing? Well, ain't that swell...?

I don't know what they're thinking asking to shorten the contract. They only have 3-4 years left, it's not like they're chained to the company for 13 years, it's a legal binding and you don't change it when you feel like it. And if they want to leave in 2012, what the hell is the point of a management change?!

Come on, idols are supposed to be overworked especially if they're on demand like Kara. If DSP wasn't making them successful with all that work, then maybe there would be a good argument. >__>

/rant

Sorry, I'm so sick of this. I want to go stab a lawyer.

I have a sinking feeling that after this whole ordeal, Japanese companies/stations will hesitate working with them. seeing them as unreliable for breaking away when they had commitments....

yeah ... its kinda a bad example they'll have in the back of their minds when thinking on working with other korean groups ...

I want to be stay positive and hope they don't lay all the blame on idols and acknowledge that some S. Korean companies need to alter their systems. I think there's been a few articles floating around that supports that belief.

The faster this is over the better the chance they have. If they keep breaking commitments TV stations and advertisers are going to start moving on to other people. I hope this is resolved before their next single preparations cus I don't think UMJ is going to have much sympathy.

Would any other time be better? i think we should be glad they didn't do it around UMJ promotions, UMJ would not be happy... at all.

Keep shooting yourselves in the foot girls. If more contract suits like this pop up, Japanese companies might think that the potential profit isn't worth the hassle.

I thought they agreed to go back and film some more episodes for the show. Honestly, as many problems as their having, they should have honored at least this prior commitments because a lot of people rely on them. :( hopefully this won't bite them in the butt if they ever do come all back together.
